NASSAU, Bahamas (CMC) – Jamaica says it plans to send its strongest team to the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas set for May 24 and 25.
President of the Jamaica Athletic Administrative Association (JAAA) Dr Warren Blake says the best team will be selected despite the absence of a trial prior to the inaugural meet.

“We will be selecting the team the same way we have done with the Penn Relays that comes on a month before and the World Indoors,” said Dr Blake in an interview with The Observer.
“We write to the coaches and the athletes’ reps and get in touch with them and they will recommend which of their athletes will be available and then we choose the best team out of what is available at the time.”
The first edition of the 2014 IAAF World Relays will serve as a qualifying competition for the 2015 IAAF World Championships.
More than 1 000 athletes and team officials from 40 nations are expected in the Bahamas for the event.
The top-eight teams to place in the 4x100m and 4x400m events will automatically qualify for the IAAF World Championships Beijing 2015.
Led by sprint sensation Usain Bolt Jamaica have swept the 4x100m relays at the Olympic and World Championships since 2008 and are expected to dominate once again.
